1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

The splicing of tRNA introns is a critical step in pre-tRNA maturation. In archaea and eukaryotes, tRNA intron removal is catalyzed by the tRNA splicing endonuclease (TSEN) complex. Eukaryotic TSEN is comprised of four core subunits (TSEN54, TSEN2, TSEN34 and TSEN15). The human TSEN complex additionally co-purifies with the polynucleotide kinase CLP1; however, CLP1's role in tRNA splicing remains unclear. Mutations in genes encoding all four TSEN subunits, as well as CLP1, are known to cause neurodegenerative disorders, yet the mechanisms underlying the pathogenesis of these disorders are unknown. Here, we developed a recombinant system that produces active TSEN complex. Co-expression of all four TSEN subunits is required for efficient formation and function of the complex. We show that human CLP1 associates with the active TSEN complex, but is not required for tRNA intron cleavage in vitro. Moreover, RNAi knockdown of the Drosophila CLP1 orthologue, cbc, promotes biogenesis of mature tRNAs and circularized tRNA introns (tricRNAs) in vivo. Collectively, these and other findings suggest that CLP1/cbc plays a regulatory role in tRNA splicing by serving as a negative modulator of the direct tRNA ligation pathway in animal cells.
